- W116879722 abstract "Publisher Summary This chapter discusses risks and injuries relating to water sports. Water-related fatalities are the third leading cause of accidental death in the USA and second in the UK and Australia. Many factors play a role in drowning. They include ignorance or disregard of danger, an unrealistic idea of swimming ability, lack of knowledge of the area, lack of adequate supervision, inability to cope, the temperature of the water and lack of knowledge of safety procedures and first aid. Wet drowning is when hypoxia results because of the aspiration of fluid into the lungs. When large amounts of fresh water are aspirated, it diffuses rapidly from the alveoli into the circulation, resulting in hemodilution and hemolysis. More than 11 ml per kg body weight of fluid must be aspirated. Fresh water affects the surfactant content of the alveoli and in cases of near drowning may result in atelectasis at a later stage. In salt water drowning, when large amounts are inhaled, there is a shift of fluid from the circulation into the alveoli, with resulting pulmonary edema, but the surfactant system is not as affected. It is essential that there is an adequate number of suitably equipped boats with personnel qualified in first aid and water safety to carry out the rescue. The physician in charge should be competent to treat acute trauma and be able to intubate the injured; if necessary, scuba divers wearing wet suits should be a part of the team." @default.
